The issue is that the book has to be recoded for the various ebook formats which has to be done by someone who will usually want some dosh for the effort. All this over at the Gutenberg site, have been done by volunteers for de nada.At Amazon people want paying.

However my complaint in the past has been when the kindle version costs more than the paperback.
